Hi there lovely blog friends and fellow blogsters - and a special hello to my two new followers Christine and Julie, I really do appreciate you checking out my blog and my 'offerings'. I don't know about the weather near you but it has been bloomin' cold here and we have had more snow this year than we have had for a long time. The birds have been fed at least twice a day although the little divils are back on their Sainsbury Basics bread not the Kingsmill!!! They also have dried worms, bird seed, peanuts, fat balls and bird pellets! I don't mind them popping in for a feed and a bath (they have tepid water in their bath and bowl in this weather!!!) but I do draw the line at their 'funny' business which they seem to do on the garage roof! Mind you the snow has stopped all that for the time being - makes me blush!Anyway enough of my birdy antics and on to my card! I found this project when I was (still am by the way!!) clearing out my drawers and things. I did this at a workshop I attended ages and ages ago. The technique was bleaching and I absolutely loved it. I haven't done it since though - which is typically moi - but I shall have to have another go. I stamped the image onto the card using bleach then, when it was dry, did two images either side using Versamark and gold embossing powder. Must admit it looks a lot more detailed in the daylight.

Good afternoon my fellow blogsters out there! Well here I am sitting cosy in my tip of a craftroom - my back has been really poorly so I am still working on the sorting out of my stash and Graham is nursing stubbed toes!! I do need to welcome my three new followers - yay!!! - Crafty Amy, Lisa and Taniaj - thank you so much for becoming followers and I hope you enjoy my blog postings - I do waffle and have a giggle (mostly at myself).I have two Twinchies to share with you today, I am only allowed to enter one into the Twinchie challenge but I like both of them so am posting two on my blog for you to look at. The theme this month is Flower or Flowers so I found some gorgeous freebie digis (yes I do buy them as well - lol!) and mini'd them into Twinchie size then coloured them with my Promarkers. All I can say is thank goodness for my magnifying glass!!! Here is the Twinchie I am entering into the Challenge -http://twinchie-twinchiehotmaillive.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/challenge-3-flower-or-flowers.html I like them both really but the little sentiment is so me!!!

You can't really tell from the pic but I have glazed over the ladybird and also glittered the wings of the two bumble bees! I went round the edges of the two Twinchies with my black Promarker pen.

The second one is also a freebie digi but I can't tell you where they came from because they don't have the originators' names on - such a pity.

I do love this challenge and have not entered for a while now so I am really going to have to find time to enter each month. I would like to ask anyone reading this to have a go, they really are a pleasure to do.Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my blog warbles, I did warn you that I waffled - if waffling was in the Olympics I would have a gold medal!!! LOL!!!!Lots of hugs to all of you out there, it has been snowing outside but the sun is shining now - at least it isn't -21 degrees Anne-Elise!!!! I hope you find time to do some crafting this week.SUE

Hi there my blog friends and a special welcome to Asmah my new follower! Thank you all so much for popping over and checking out my little blog planet!I found this little card whilst I was clearing out a basket with some cards in it. I know I haven't shown it before and..... it is a House Mouse stamp!!! I just love this little mouse's tum tum! It reminds me of my super hubster who, incidentally, pulled in Sainsbury's yesterday!!! Apparently a 'young' lady asked him if he could help her by getting "The Lady" magazine from a high shelf -because she couldn't quite reach it! He does come in useful for that sort of thing, being 6' 3"!!! When he passed it to her she thanked him and then said that she thought he smelled really nice!!!!! Of course I was thinking ahhh bless, he still has it. Then he tells me he would have been a toy boy!!!! I am still guffawing at this final revelation!

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for 47 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
